Some functions like _omap4_disable_module() and _omap4_wait_target_disable()

any platform pre OMAP4 (i.e OMAP2 and OMAP3) instead of checking for
!cpu_is_omap44xx(). This avoids having to update the error check with a
'&& !cpu_is_omap54xx()' when OMAP5 is introduced and possibly similar updates
when further OMAP generations are added.
Let me add some flavor here :)
AM33xx, which has module level control, but falls under OMAP3 family of
devices. cpu_is_omap34xx() is true for AM33xx device and we have to add
check in all these functions. And I am sure we will have many of such
devices in the future.
Can we use some flag based option here, instead of cpu_is_xxx() check?
The intent of this patch was to make the error handling uniform across
all modules control functions in hwmod, and it atleast addresses one
problem of having to update these checks every time a new OMAP gets
added.
The problem that you bring up with AM33xx is regardless of this patch
(you would still need to go update every !cpu_is_omap44xx() check)
and IMHO should be handled separately, with a flag like you are
suggesting or by some other means. If you already have patches on how
this can be done, you should go ahead and post them out.
